Waiting until Choudray gets sent off..another 10 mins max.

Nigel trainer look. Gerimin

Half time advert for an airport carpark is for the high-light show. Now showing a car crash. How appropriate.

Both.

Something is going to happen in 20 seconds...

Daka injured - replacement? Who have we got? Time for Vesty upfront ?

Have we been in their half yet?

Weo showing Emissions tab. I should be so lucky.

Wide open at the back.

Be called Lidl in that case.

If Szmodic hasn't played for Stocksbridge Steels, it's a no from me.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best. I genuinely wonder if the club is planning for relegation this time, after the fiasco last time. The Corporate Business Plan goes way beyond the team and players; don't spend much now and hope Cooper can rebuild in the Championship despite possible transfer ban. Unlike Enzo, Cooper looks the type to keep his mouth shut, perhaps that's why they selected him, or maybe this is the deal. Then in two years, after relegation season in PL and then another lacklustre in EPL, all legal issues and bans are cleared, club and Cooper can start rebuild again. If the owners can allow Rudkin to pursue such a strategy, and keep his job, just shows to me that they are trying to avoid putting their own cash in, unless it's in hard assets such as property and hotels etc which can appreciate, as opposed to players. Then the owners sell the lot, club, hotels, property, if we are back in PL in 3 years. How old is Rudkin? Retirement and golden handshake at that point, maybe that's his deal. This of course completely ignores the fans, so is consistent with the corporate approach. If Cooper accidentally keeps us up, watch out for further planning applications that increase the net worth of the club, rather than the team. It's certainly a plan for the business.

Hoping for a throw in, in their half, maybe. Don't want to over expect.

First 50 years as Fox Fan are the worst. This is my calm resigned phase.

Pre-season is all about conditioning. Conditioning us fans to get used to playing sh*t and losing every week. Derby record seriously in danger. What's the odds on Cooper 1st in PL to get chop?

I mean, it's not like he dealt drugs, and had to wear a electronic tag whilst playing when young, I mean that would be a complete no no.

Bench sounds hard with splinters, actually they sit all match in comfy arm chairs do nothing for their 50k. Bring back the bench!

Plan seems to be to get relegated to clear all the Funding crap/points deductions and then rebuild in Championship over next 5-10 years. Rudkin can then concentrate on the important horse side of the business.

I understand people giving Cooper the benefit of the doubt, but at this stage we shouldn't be 'trying all sorts'. Looks like he's never seen any of our games (especially Wards). Worried that he's playing Ward as Enzo is going to bid for Mads and like when Kasper went, Rudkin was clueless as to the consequences.

Foxestalk providing detailed, experienced insight into incoming disaster.

Really short actually. Already wondering what I'm going to do with all the spare time.

Cooper lost it for me, right there. Gone by Christmas.

Do I need to go to Specsavers or does he look to have lost some weight/ bit leaner? Don't know if this translates into faster.

Dead right. We crash landed a pizza box onto Mars. Eat that Elon.

Brilliant apart from the defence. Is Cooperball 'let's just outscore them'?
